Senior Democrat In Custody Resign from Post: "Please defend the truth. Never compromise to falsehoods. I shall return asap"
Democratic Party member #AndrewWan announced on May 10, 2021 that he would resign from his councillorship at the Kwai Tsing District Council, officially ending his term on the day.
“In custody, I cannot serve my duties as a councillor.” Wan was among the 47 democrats charged with “conspiracy to commit subversion”, an offence under the #NationalSecurityLaw, for taking part in the Legislative Council (#LegCo) Primary Elections in July 2020.
“This resignation marks the end of my 18 years as a district councillor, a servant to the public.”
His Facebook page writes about his tenure as a veteran councillor. “Born a grassroot, through much effort and luck, I have given my life to the service of the poor, the old, the underprivileged, the weak.”
Wan describes the state of Hong Kong as “dreadful”, but he is still pleased to learn many still remain vociferous.
“Today, out of great frustration I must resign from my position as a councillor, to which I seek your understanding. But this does not mean I am leaving, nor will I be ignoring social affairs. Instead, please defend the truth. Never compromise to falsehoods. I shall return as soon as possible, as Szeto Wah once said, “Need me not to witness the success. I am part of the success”. ”
